Honeymoon,Samui Day 5
Wake up early this morning and have our last breakfast at Renaissance. The breakfast still tastes so good. Today we reserve a van for island tour with the elephant tracking. Yeah… sitting on a elephant.. sounds really exciting… The driver takes us to the elephant tracking place first (cos it's 10:30 already, we afraid it's gonna be very sunny later on, so decide to go now). We decided it's gonna be tooo long to sit on an elephant's back, so we take the ½ hour track. We need to climb up a little tree house and wait for the elephant comes to pick us up. As it's approaching us, my heartbeat pounds faster and faster… it's like one story high to sit on the elephant's back., but we already paid for it.. so got to get our ass sit on it. Tell you the truth, the whole experience is more like nervous than having fun. Cos we are tracking on its back and there's really not much to see around (even though there's a zoo next to us, but we can only see some deer, monkeys, and crocodiles). After the elephant tracking we go to the one of the waterfall in Koh Samui. Don't expect too much, cos it's only like 5-6 story high waterfall. Well, the next destination may sounds a bit weird to some of u, cos we go check out their local supermarket (Lotus). Tell u the truth, I think every time I visit a new country, I must check out their supermarket, u can discover a lot of interesting food there and get a better price too. So, we buy a lot of snack, fish can, fruits, and the tom yum soup base. The price is so cheap too, very satisfy. Next, we go check out the Grandpa and Grandma's rock. Well, look at the pics itself can totally tell what it looks like. But it's all naturally formed, it's pretty interesting… huh… Yeah.. it's 3 already, and we finally go to have our lunch. This restaurant is recommend by today's driver… the food is sooo good and the price is really reasonable. Especially the food is really authentic and the seafood is so fresh and cheap. We also take out a box of fried rice and fried noodle for our dinner. Today's our final destination is our hotel Le Loyal at Nan Taling Ngam. It locates inside a mountain and the drive from Lamai beach to the hotel is about 40 mins. Once we arrive the hotel, the view is speechless. Nothing block the ocean view and the location is very private. Welcome by the cool refreshing towel with a cool coconut.. (yummy)… check out the oceanfront deluxe room. Hm… the view is perfect, but the room is kind of err… disappointing. Its decoration and the facility is pretty old (u will find out more what happen two days later). Anyways, can't wait to check out the hotel and decide to check out the beach. Hotel has transport transfer from lobby to the beach by golf cart. The beach is on west side and it's perfect to see sunset. There's a pool next to the beach and it's really relaxing too. There are couples beach front villa locates downhill. But it's really costly… Get back to the room and start enjoying the fried rice and noodle and the fresh fruit we get from this afternoon. Need to prepare for tomorrow's island tour. Went to sleep early cos we need to wake up at 6:30.
